Can't see Gordon leaving this window but if he keeps improving and we don't start winning trophies and being in Europe every year then it'll happen at some point.

If we don't get a decent RW then he'll probably start plenty of games. Even if we do get a new RW having someone of Barnes' quality to come off the bench is very important as well. All part of building a competent squad. Who even knows what will happen, for all we know Barnes could be keeping Gordon out of the team at some point this season.

It wouldn't bother me now at this point of Tripps left. He'll always be well thought of by Newcastle fans but he's 34 in September and has looked totally off it since before Christmas. Tino has looked fantastic and I think now the time is right for him to make the RB spot his own. In an ideal world I'd keep Trippier and start to train him up as a coach to stay on after retirement, but I can't see him being happy as a backup.

The price of that pre-match stuff is a bit mad like. 60 quid for a t-shirt.

Aren't we doing a feasibility study on modernising St James' Park? I'm guessing the decision on a new stadium will come from that.

Looking at page one of the Isak thread it was only known about after Real Sociedad had already accepted our bid though. We'll hear about signings when they're at an advanced stage. I take all this "Newcastle are interested in...." stuff with a massive pinch of salt.

Mitchell and Staveley might not be transfers but its still club business that these journos are paid to know about. Anyway, even if some deals do get reported on, how many players have we been linked to online so far this summer and we've only signed one proper first-team player who is likely to have an impact this season in Lloyd Kelly which the town and country knew we were going for even before the season ended. My point is these rumours aren't worth the bandwidth, 99% of it is clickbait nonsense.

Off the top of my head they didn't see Staveley going or Mitchell coming in until it was already done. Isak was basically completed before it was reported, and even then it came from Spain first. I've zero faith in these journalists or any of these social media personalities trying to copy the tap in merchant Romano. Ornstein is probably the only one I'd listen to.

It's got to the point now that if I see articles linking us with a player I put it firmly into the 'not going to happen' category. Anytime we've done significant business it's come out of nowhere and these know it all journalists didn't know a thing about any of it.

This lad may as well just retire after the end of the season if he can't get a pay day in Saudi. He's gonna end up leaving here on a sour note if he's constantly injured again this season. Beyond laughable now.

She any good? Just Googled her and seen she's 36.

When do we reckon Bonmati will be lining out for the lasses?

I love Kante and don't get me wrong if he was wearing our shirt I'd back him but we saw last month how tight our margins can get. £20m is a hefty sum that IMO should go towards a younger midfielder who'll be here for years to come. Players like Kante looking for a final year or two at the top can be something we do in the future when we can afford it.

Kante is one of the players I'd have absolutely loved us to sign in the early year or two since the takeover but now? You'd need to have serious FFP wiggle room to lump £20m on a 33 year old, certainly not something I'd like to see us do.

He'll probably just say Gareth did a great job and he's flattered to be linked but he is fully focus on preparing for the new season with Newcastle and building for the future here. I can't see it being much more in depth than that.

Plus 85k import charge.

Hope Howe makes a decision quick and if he is to stay comes out and says it. Been a annoying summer already with the Bruno, Isak and Gordon rumours in June, the last thing we need is Howes future being talked about for weeks on end now too.

Isn’t this for the previous 3 years just ended though?

There's no way in hell the PL will punish Man Utd. If Man Utd don't fix it themselves I can't wait to see how the league bends the rules for them.

A polite fuck off to a YouTuber gives them the title of their video. “I GOT ABUSED BY A NEWCASTLE FAN. WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OUR FANS?”.

Fair play to him going to Bayern. He could have easily stayed in London and went to the shitshow that is Chelsea.

I’ve the white one and it’s great. Wearing it today as it happens.

Gordon is the obvious move. Gives a new option going forward for the 15 mins plus you'd want him taking a penalty.

Got my away top from DH gate today. It’s class like.

There’s no way that man is 21.
